Chances are the "bidding" got up that high as they had family and friends
"bidding" on it. Shill bidding or pad bidding, which is illegal on ebay but
happens more times thant not. That's one reason, if not THE reason why I
always tell people never use ebay as a market guide. That is a $500-$850 car
mentioned below, hopefully someone will step up to buy it but for $2000 you
can do a hell of a lot better.

Sadly however, shilling is widespread on ebay. Here are the rules although
rarely anyone caught:

I am just as shocked as you are, but it is nice to know that a rusty
old knocking AMC can command that much money! *snicker* I agree with
Doc that it is around a $500 - $700 car max. There is just not enough
interest or available parts to support much more. I'm glad that
someone feels it worthy, although I would (and could) spend my money
on an AMC *whatever model* in better condition for that amount of
money. It gives me the idea that I need to sell my '74 Gremlin body
and find something better to stick this built 360 inside especially
if it will go for that much money! LOL -Lu-
